Interview with a Jovo

[Drich]

Um, no.

The paragraph does mention flexible scheduling. To be exact, it states:

Taken from post 51:
"Religious Discrimination & Reasonable Accommodation
The law requires an employer or other covered entity to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices, unless doing so would cause more than a minimal burden on the operations of the employer's business. This means an employer may be required to make reasonable adjustments to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice his or her religion.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices."

This means an employer may be required to make reasonable adjustments to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice his or her religion.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.

The keywords being 'may' and 'reasonable'. I underlined them for you. Then it goes on to list examples of religious accommodations commonly made by employers. It does not specifically state that a cleaning lady has to have a Sunday off, that would be ridiculous.

" Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, "

As mentioned in the OP, it's essential that the cleaners work in the agreed working hours, otherwise it would put a strain on the manager.

Are you seriously this clueless even after I posted a link to the written law? Did you not read what was written, or do you simply 'feel' you version of 'morality' over rides the stautes concerning this?

And you are STILL missing two aspects of the case, namely that the job description clearly stated the working hours and that the woman applied with that knowledge in mind and also the fact that other religious employees were denied a day off for the very same reason. There is no prejudice or discrimination here, it's the exact opposite.

And what you don't seem to get is that if the position was indeed full time than the working hours posted are in direct violation of anti discrimination laws.
